Hey all! My budgie, Genji, has been sneezing extremely frequently (10-20+ times a day!!) but the thing is, they're 90% dry sneezes. Occasionally he has a wet sneeze that is completely clear and doesn't run. I've checked for anything in his nares and he's totally clear. There's no sneezing fits, but more he'll sneeze every 5 minutes for a bit, and then nothing for hours, and then maybe 1 or two every hour. Very sporadic.
I would be more concerned, but he's legitimately showing no signs of illness or irritation aside from the sneezing. Eating, drinking, breathing, activity level, affection, energy, sleeping normal, pooping normal, feathers are great - there is not a darn thing wrong with the little guy aside from the sneezes and it is so confusing!!
i'm wondering if it's due to how dry the air has been, or a winter allergy or something? He had a check up at the start of January and he was 100% okayed by our avian vet (he was having sneezing issues at that time, too). She suggested it was just dry air and dust - but even after buying an air purifier, there's been no change. very strange.
anyone have any ideas on what could be going on?
